These volumes are impressively bound, but are in fairly poor condition as one might expect including cracked to hinges. Two volumes with boards detached and generally scuffed and worn to bindings. The volumes have also suffered from damp. Volume 1 is highly warped. Internally the volumes appear to be complete although please note that we have not collated these works thoroughly. The pages internally appear to be fairly clean and bright.
